Amid the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza, the IDF says troops deployed to southern Gaza’s Khan Younis — on the eastern side of the Yellow Line, where the IDF is still in control following its partial withdrawal — have destroyed four Hamas tunnels.

The tunnels were located and razed by troops of the 7th Armored Brigade, Golani Infantry Brigade, and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit.

The IDF says the troops also destroyed dozens of buildings used by Hamas for terror activity, “in which many weapons were located.”

The IDF says it remains deployed in Gaza “in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.”
